Cottage Health 2020 Culture Audit

In June 2018, The Joint Commission certified SYVCH as a Stroke Ready facility, and Santa Barbara County Emergency Medical Services provided the final designation on October 31. When a patient arrives at SYVCH with stroke symptoms, the “stroke protocol” is immediately implemented with a CT scan and lab work. The ER physician then collaborates with the on-call neurologist via a telemedicine platform using a computer with medical grade video, audio and diagnostic capability, which allows the physician to conduct an acute stroke consultation to determine the patient’s treatment. In specific instances, stroke patients can be given a de-clotting drug therapy called “tissue Plasminogen Activator” (tPA) within the vital 45-minute window to reduce brain damage. Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital Foundation The Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital Foundation is a not-for-profit organization devoted to generating and channeling financial support for the hospital.
